Stem Cell Recovery

The Restorative Properties of Stem Cells

Stem cells are unique cells, as they regenerate and drive the natural healing process throughout your life. They restore skin, bones, cartilage, muscles, nerves and other tissue when they become injured. Stem cells are generally few in number and buried deep. However, the discovery of stem cells in teeth has provided an accessible and available source. There is an abundance of stem cells in baby teeth, wisdom teeth and permanent teeth. The stem cells contained within teeth are capable of replicating themselves and can easily be recovered during a planned dental procedure.

Amazing advances in medical treatments using stem cells are being developed to treat a range of difficult to treat diseases including:

Parkinson’s Disease

Brain Injuries

Heart Disease

Diabetes

Arthritis

Muscular dystrophy

Leukemia

Crohn’s disease

Multiple Sclerosis

Periodontal Disease

Sports Injuries

Cosmetic and Anti-aging Applications

With the knowledge from recent medical research, your doctor provides you the opportunity to save these cells for future use in developing medical treatments for your family. Using one’s own stem cells for medical treatment generally means a much lower risk of rejection by the body, and avoiding immune system lowering medications for such problems. Stem cells from teeth have proven to be among the most powerful in the human body, and can replicate at a faster rate and for a longer period of time. However, as your body ages, so do your stem cells and their regenerative abilities begin to slow down, making it most valuable to secure your stem cells earlier in life.

Stem Cell Recovery and Cryopreservation from teeth has many advantages. First, these cells are easily accessible, during a planned extraction procedure such as wisdom teeth, baby teeth or other healthy permanent teeth. It is a more affordable way to acquire stem cells versus retrieving them from bone marrow, cord blood, etc. It is also convenient, as the recovery of stem cells from teeth can be performed during any healthy tooth extraction.

Frequently Asked Questions About Stem Cell Recovery

The stem cells from healthy dental pulp are among the most powerful in the body, as they replicate faster and for a longer period of time than those from other parts of the body. These stem cells show great promise for future regenerative medical treatments of neurodegenerative diseases, heart disease, diabetes, bone diseases and brain and nerve injuries.

Any extracted tooth with a healthy pulp contains stem cells. Any tooth recommended for extraction from a fracture, but that remains healthy, is an ideal candidate. These include wisdom teeth or baby teeth.
